1litre of water by 1oclock and 6 times to the toilet!

Is it me or is that strange?

Sorry to ask a question about toilet frequencies but seriously Ive only drank one litre and my wee is clear and I keep feeling desperate to go. I havent actually been that thirty to tell the truth, I just thought its good for you to drink loads.

I've also had almost 3 cups of tea.

Any thoughts?

That sounds normal to me... you could be shifting some water weight, or maybe your other systems are full? I find that if I haven't been able to 'go number 2' for even a day, then it tends to press on my bladder more and make me want to pee more.

The tea will also have a diuretic effect.

I would't worry about it though

If your pee is clear, that is a sign that your body is properly hydrated and discarding the water. If you were not properly hydrated, your body would hold onto the pee long enough to turn it yellow, and you wouldn't be going to the bathroom as often.

Not to mention that's a lot of fluids. :)

Well if you've had one liter of fluids on top of the 3 cups of tea (were they 8 oz cups?)  then you've actually had almost 2 liters of fluids :)  And tea is not that much of a diuretic, that's been proven to be a bit of a myth.  People who regularly drink caffeine do not experience the diuretic effects much at all, really.  Our bodies adapt quite excellently :)

Yes, it's good to replenish fluids, but honestly, unless you're an athlete or living in a high heat/dry weather area our bodies only need to replenish about 2 liters of fluids per day.  And we get about 1 liter of that through the foods we eat.  Now, if we're on calorie restricted diets then yes, we may need a bit more fluids to make up the difference, so yes, 2 liters over the course of an entire day should be sufficient.  2 liters by lunchtime is a bit much in my opinion, but others have different philosophies.

cups that held about 7 oz.

Tea is 'water' too... AND it's a diuretic.

if you have just started drinking water like that you will have to go just as if you "broke the seal" from drinking alcohol. The tea is added fluid, plus depending on the kind of tea, and if your body is used to having it, the tea will help to flush your system too. Really if you continue to do that for a few days your body will regulate how often you have to go and your urine will become more clear.

I drink over a gallon of water a day, most of it during my work day... It really helps me from eating while I am at my desk.
